Got Brat? The Brat Trot is next Sunday; here’s how to get a FREE Smoothie!

The Burien Brat Trot is just over a week away – race day is Sunday, Oct. 6 (click here to register now) – and Bret the Brat and his team of Bavarianfest elves are brushing off their Lederhosen just for B-Town.

You won’t want to miss this great, local fundraising event, which will center around BTB Advertiser the Tin Room Bar, with a day of fun on a flat, fast 5k around Lake Burien and surrounding neighborhoods – or the shorter one mile race – followed by a finish-line BAVARIANFEST block party.

There will be two stages with rock bands and DJs, beer gardens, tons-o-sausage by Dan the Sausageman, food trucks, giveaways and crazy fun.

There will also be plenty of fun for the kiddos, too – with bouncy toys, face painting, pumpkin painting, even a Root Beer Garden!

Register online now and have some fun while benefiting two important non profits in our community–Highline Schools Foundation, and Safe Kids South King County.

BE AN ANGEL, GET A SMOOTHIE You can also help sponsor children in our community that want to run but can’t afford the fee – be an Angel and sponsor a child or two to run! $35 sponsors one, $60 will sponsor two.

And get this – if you go into Emerald City Smoothie (in the Safeway Plaza on SW 148th) to be an Angel, you’ll get a FREE Smoothie!

PUB CRAWL IS FRIDAY, OCT. 4 Oh yeah – don’t forget about the Pub Crawl on Friday night, Oct. 4! Teams of 2 or more crawl to various B-town establishments, endure challenges and earn points for the chance to win prizes!

TAKE PICS OF BRET THE WANDERING BRAT!
